Wandsworth VCS alignment
Aligned with Wandsworth’s voluntary and community sector priorities
Dominican Parade UK CIC’s work aligns with Wandsworth’s wider voluntary and community sector priorities, including community participation, cultural inclusion, youth engagement, volunteering, partnership development and support for smaller community-led organisations.
Wandsworth’s Voluntary Sector Needs Analysis highlights the importance of strengthening local civil society, improving collaboration between the voluntary sector, the council, businesses and community partners and creating more diverse and accessible opportunities for residents to participate in civic and community life.
Our developing programme responds to these priorities by building a cultural and educational platform rooted in Wandsworth, with future activity including school engagement, heritage learning, volunteering pathways, community partnerships and cultural events that support representation, belonging and long-term community legacy.
This alignment does not imply formal endorsement by Wandsworth Council. References to Wandsworth Council priorities or voluntary sector infrastructure are included to show local alignment and public benefit. They do not imply approval, funding or partnership by Wandsworth Council.

Community space
Community space and premises need
Dominican Parade UK CIC has been granted access to the Wandsworth VCS Hub and is currently awaiting ID cards before beginning regular use of the space.
Access to the VCS Hub will support the organisation’s early development by providing a local base for planning meetings, partnership conversations, volunteer coordination and community-sector collaboration.
As the organisation grows, Dominican Parade UK CIC is also seeking suitable free, low-cost or partnership-based community space in Wandsworth to support meetings, volunteer development, youth and heritage learning, community workshops, cultural activities, planning sessions and partnership activity.
Access to appropriate space would help the organisation build local capacity, strengthen community participation and develop safe, inclusive year-round activity for Wandsworth residents while progressing responsibly towards the proposed Dominican Parade UK 2027.
